Reminds me of that New Yorker poster by Steinberg that dipicts the world in 
relation to 9th Avenue.

<<I always used to enjoy shocking the Dutch with
some Antwerp arrogance, and the following worked
wonders : we, from Antwerp, of course admit
there's parts outside Antwerp !  The non-Antwerp
world is divided into 4 parts.  There's
east-non-Antwerp, which is called "LimboLand" (a
word play on the province Limburg). 
West-non-Antwerp, is called "de Vleunders"
(Antwerp dialect for the provinces there). >>
South-non-Antwerp are the Walloons, and
North-non-Antwerp is Holland.


Peter.
